How to Install Wine Devel 4.8 in Ubuntu 19.04 / 18.04

Last updated: May 13, 2019

Wine Stable

The new development release Wine 4.8 was released a few days ago. Here’s how to install it in Ubuntu 19.04 and fix unmet dependencies issue.

Wine 4.8 release highlights:

  • Support building most programs in PE format.
  • Unicode data updated to Unicode 12.0.
  • Support for MSI patch files.
  • Default to non-PIC builds on i386.
  • Joystick support improvements.
  • Asturian locale.
  • Various bug fixes.

1. Add Wine apt repository:

Open terminal either via Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut or by searching for ‘terminal’ from app menu. When it opens, run following commands one by one.

Add the official Wine repository key via command:

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key && sudo apt-key add winehq.key

Type user password (no asterisk feedback) when it prompts and hit Enter.

Then add Wine repository for Ubuntu 19.04:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ disco main'

For other Ubuntu releases, replace disco in the code with:

  • bionic for Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19.x
  • cosmic for Ubuntu 18.10.
  • xenial for Ubuntu 16.04, Linux Mint 18.x

2. Install unmet dependence: faudio

The wine devel package requires libfaudio0 library which is not available in Ubuntu repositories.

As a workaround, run command to add the third-party PPA, which offers the packages for Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 18.10, Ubuntu 19.04.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybermax-dexter/sdl2-backport

3. Install Wine 4.8:

Finally run command to install Wine 4.8, which will automatically install the required libfaudio0 libraries.

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel

Once installed, run winecfg to bring up the configuration window and check Wine version.

Uninstall:

Open Software & Updates and navigate to Other Software tab. Then remove the PPA, and Wine apt repository lines.

To remove Wine devel package, run command:

sudo apt remove --auto-remove winehq-devel

    i dont get it. sry im new in this, i installed ubuntu for a webdesign bootcamp i wanna use a handy program only usable for windows.

    i used this command: sudo apt-add-repository ‘deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/disco/main/binary-amd64/ disco main’

    then i get this:

    Ign:1 ‘https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/disco/main/binary-amd64’ disco InRelease
    Err:2 ‘https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/disco/main/binary-amd64’ disco Release
    404 Not Found [IP: 151.101.38.217 443]
    Reading package lists… Done
    E: The repository ‘https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/disco/main/binary-amd64 disco Release’ does not have a Release file.
    N: Updating from such a repository can’t be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
    N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

    is it easy to fix ? :s

      replace disco with your OS version as stated above. disco is only a placeholder and needs to be changed depending on what you have.

    THANKS YOU,

    I tried this and it all appeared to work but wine –version still shows 4.14?

    This worked for me on 18.04, but I had to change “disco” to “bionic” — otherwise excellent advice, thank you!

  12. Melroy van den Berg January 14, 2020 at 12:12 am

    In my case it doesn’t work still.. Causing issues:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    wine-staging-i386:i386 : Depends: libfaudio0:i386 but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: libpulse0:i386 (>= 0.99.1) but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: libasound2-plugins:i386 but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    Yes I did:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybermax-dexter/sdl2-backport

    And: sudo apt update

    And despite that. For some reason it can still not find the faudio stuff.
